This helped me develop a habit of being more productive and benefited my mood. This week also allowed me to make a start on improving my diet in terms of eating healthy and not skipping meals.

I did this by ensuring I didn't skip meals, eating healthy and including snacks (various fruits and vegetables). This will result in having the correct amount of nutrition for exercise and being able to concentrate when completing work to my full ability in college.]]> 2022-01-26 13:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2013531359 23017431 https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2013546792 This week I focused on relaxing and working on my mental health. My starting point for this was spending my free time doing what I enjoy, one example being listening to music or even taking a short nap if needed. Some days I will prioritise spending time with family or friends in order to work on my social skills in order to help with my anxiety levels. Beginning to complete college coursework will also help me to relieve stress, ]]> 2022-01-26 13:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2013546792 23017431 https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2013562219 During week four I made sure to prioritise my coursework by finishing any unfinished work/assignments in order to complete them for their due date to result in passing my course with a distinction as I'm predicted. Once up to date with my work my stress levels will be reduced and I will be less anxious, which will of course benefit in terms of working on my mental health. ]]> 2022-01-26 13:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2013562219 23017431 https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2013572978 I used my final week of the activity plan to evaluate my mental health. I did this by updating a mood journal which benefited when coming to terms with how I felt. For example, I was able to evaluate if I had a 'good' day or 'bad' day. This helped me to look at having a more positive outlook on everything throughout the day, this of course helped me develop a positive attitude and stay relaxed. 

As a result of this i again did not have noticeable symptoms of stress, i feel 9/10 this week.]]> 2022-01-26 14:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2013572978 23017431 https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2121616379 This week my main stress was college work. I have 6 assignments to complete and it feels like its an impossible task. 

I have spoken to tutors and Jed to look at how I can manage this better and we have discussed just doing one at a time so I feel like I am getting somewhere.

We have set an action plan of what to do and set deadlines so I know when they need doing.

After speaking to my tutors I definitely felt less stressed. Discussing my workload and creating an action plan has been a good strategy to help me and this is something I will use in the future too.

I would rate my stress for that week a 7/10 and symptoms of stress were headaches. ]]> 2022-03-30 14:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2121616379 23017431 https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2125353257 My main stress this week week was time management between work and college coursework, as i was working full time whilst trying to get through the last of my assignments complete.

To help reduce stress and work on managing my time, I cut my hours down at work to only doing weekends. This gave me time to focus on college and see where I'm at with coursework. 
I then looked back on my action plan i set last week so I can be sure to meet my deadlines. 

Symptoms from my stress this week were anger and headaches, i rate it 7/10.]]> 2022-04-01 12:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2125353257 23017431 https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2125360411 This week my stress as revolved around anxiety, however it wasn't too difficult as i was focusing on my mental health. Doing things I enjoy and having plenty of rest helped with this. 
I again looked at my action plan, handed my assignments in which also helps me reduce stress, there were no stress symptoms this week although I was very tired.
Overall stress levels were 3 or 4/10.]]> 2022-04-01 12:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2125360411 23017431 https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2125389551 This week i didn't suffer from stress as heavily as i have over the past couple weeks. l find that this is due to pushing myself to complete coursework in order to meet deadlines.
This benefits me in terms of having more time to myself which i am able to use for doing things i enjoy, as well as working on my mental health. 

This is again a result of using my five week plan to guide me and use as for support, i didn't have symptoms from stress this week although i was sometimes quite tired. This encourages me to also make time to work on my schedule. 
i would give this week an 8 or 9/10.]]> 2022-04-01 13:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2125389551 23017431 https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2164114459 This week i had much free time on my hands, therefore i used it to prioritise my mental health even more than i've been trying to for the past few weeks. This is again a result of following my well-being plan. i find that stress revolves around the attitude you have towards everything. 
Therefore, this well-being plan has taught me how to think positive and learnt me how to deal with stress in a positive way. 10/10 this week.]]> 2022-04-29 10:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/23017431/q0bmq6ga535bdi42/wish/2164114459
